Hiya Hinchinbrookshire!
Happy Birthday, Hinchinbrook Life! We celebrated with cake and cupcakes this week with all our supporters; we even had a stall at the Late Night Shopping where we gave out free cupcakes - did you manage to snaffle one up?! They didn't even last an hour as they were such a delicious commodity! Huge shout out to Hinchinbrook Shire Council, for approaching Life Publishing Group and getting behind this newspaper from day 1, it was lovely to catch up with you all last week.
What a weekend for carolling, the Ingham Theatre Group and I had a blast singing together at both the Late Night Shopping and the Carols in the Park at Forrest Beach. It has been a while since I have sung in a chorus, but doing it all together for the community made it more fun than nerve-wracking.
If you're still up for a little carolling, both Cardwell and Lucinda have their events coming up soon! Check the Event Guide in the paper to see when, both have plenty for the kids to do, and Lucinda's also doubles as a Twilight market.
Another event coming up is the Community Planting Day at Mungalla Station, which will happen on the 6th of December. It will be a day of planting native shrubs to help restore impacted floodlands, with a BBQ lunch and community stalls. There will also be a presentation from Birdlife Australia and a Gospel Sunset Concert: it's going to be a day of connecting to the land and culture. No experience required, just bring your hats, water bottles and sunscreen and be ready to reconnect with nature.

Fun Fact: My favourite Australian native tree is the wattle, what's yours?
